Letters sent to Ministers

Following the Community Jury recommendations to Council regarding management of the Noosa River, letters have now been sent from the Mayor to the relevant State Government Ministers seeking their support to transfer agreed management responsibilities for the Noosa River to Council.

The relevant ministers are:

· Hon Stirling Hinchliffe MP – Minister for Transport and the Commonwealth Games

· Hon Dr Anthony Lynham MP Minister for State Development and Natural Resources and Mines

Council’s objectives are to:

· Take on management of moorings, anchoring and living on board vessels in the river;

· Seek legislative amendments to prohibit long-term unattended anchoring;

· Remove abandoned and derelict vessels from the river;

· Implement an on-river inspection and compliance program; and

· Manage commercial jetty leases.

Noosa Council will provide regular updates here as it progresses Noosa River Management actions relating to the Community Jury's recommendations.
